Description of Activity:  Join us for a zoom dinner/movie/discussion night on Tuesday January 21^st at 6 PM.

Our films are chosen for interesting themes that lend themselves to discussion by viewers.  Most selected have been award winners at film festivals. Even if you have seen the film, joining our discussion after the showing will enhance your viewing and understanding of the movie.

Where the Crawdads Sing is the film based on the book of the same name by Delia Owens. If you read the book, you will want to see the film. If you see the film, you will want to read the book!

What better way to come together (virtually) than with friends, former colleagues, and family to have a bite and watch a stimulating movie. Our members love the discussion at the end of the film to share reactions and ideas about the film. If you watch the film at another time, you can still join us for the discussion!

You are encouraged to mark your calendar, so you don’t miss it! As soon as you are registered, I will send out the logon info to you with further instructions.

Synopsis:

From the best-selling novel comes a captivating mystery. Where the Crawdads Sing tells the story of Kya, an abandoned girl who raised herself to adulthood in the dangerous marshlands of North Carolina. For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” haunted Barkley Cove, isolating the sharp and resilient Kya from her community. Drawn to two young men from town, Kya opens herself to a new and startling world; but when one of them is found dead, she is immediately cast by the community as the main suspect. As the case unfolds, the verdict as to what actually happened becomes increasingly unclear, threatening to reveal the many secrets that lay within the marsh. This film will garner discussion about the justice system; small town pressure and challenges facing alienated youth.
